Cards

Term
acrosome
Definition
top part of the sperms head
Term
allantoic membrane-
Definition
membrane that contains waste produced by the embyro
-removes and store waste
Term
amniocentesis
Definition
test that uses a sample of the amiotic sac to tell the condtion of the fetus, ie diseased, sick, etc.
-tkaes too long
- 2nd trimester
-chorionic villus sampling faster- 8 weeks after pregnancy
Term
amnion
Definition
sac that protects the embyro
Term
blastocoel
Definition
first form cavity of gastrualtion
Term
blastocyst
Definition
structure formed in early embryogenesis, after the formation of the blastocoel, but before implantation.
Term
blastodisc
Definition
A layer of cells on the inside of the blastula
Term
blastomere
Definition
cell formed in the first stages of embryonic development, after the splitting of the fertilized ovum, but before the formation of the blastula or blastocyst.
Term
blastopore
Definition
opening into the archenteron during the embryonic stages of an organism
Term
blastula
Definition
hallow ball of cell
Term
chorion
Definition
membrane that seperates the mother from the fetus, outside the placenta
chorion + uterin wall =placenta
Term
cleveage
-complete
-discoidal
-incomplete
-spiral
-superficial ( happens id drosophilia)-frit flies
Definition
-complete: little yolk
-discoidal: cleavage furrow doesn't penetrate the egg---> creates a blastodisc
-incomplete: lots of yolk
-spiral: cleavage planes are oriented obliquely to the polar axis of the oocyte. ie mollusk
-superficial:mitosis occurs but not cytokinesis( plasma split between two daughter cell), resulting in a polynuclear cell. ie arthropods
Term
dorsal lip
Definition
-form at sight of the grey crescent
-site of involution and gastrualtion
Term
ectoderm
Definition
-outer most germ layer
-destine to be skin, sensory, nervous system/organ/ function
Term
endoderm
Definition
innermost germ layer
-destine to be digestive/ respiratory tract
Term
epiblast
Definition
The epiblast, whilst referred to as the primary ectoderm, differentiates to form all three layers of the trilaminar embryonic disc in a process called gastrulation.
Term
epiboly
Definition
usually the growth of epidermal ectoderm to cover the surface of the embryo during gastrulation.
-involution
Term
gestation
Definition
period during which the embyro develops in the uterus
Term
grey crest
Definition
-becomes the dorsal lip later
-form on the opposite side of sperm entry
-regulate fates of cells ( which cell turns into
Term
halpoid
Definition
cells that contain half sets of chromosomes ie sperm and egg cell
Term
hensons node
Definition
in avian embyros
-structure at anterior end of the primitive groove
-determine fates of cells passing over it during gastrulation
Term
homeobox
Definition
segment of DNA that regulate expression of genes, controlling large scale development processes
-180 base-pair segment of DNA
Term
hypoblast
Definition
lower portion of the avian blastula, joined to epiblastat margins of blastodisc
Term
involution
Definition
concave inwards
Term
meiosis
Definition
cell disvision w/ 4 daughter cells ( halploid)
Term
mesoderm
Definition
middle layer in developing embyro
- fated to become skeletal muscle, excretory, circulatory, and reporductive system
Term
mitosis
Definition
cell division into two cells, identical cells
Term
mosaic developement
Definition
pattern of animal embyroic developement in which each blastomere contribute to a specific part of the human body
Term
neural tube
Definition
-created by two opposing folds of doral ectoderm.
-leads to the future developement of vertebrae nervous system
-neurual plate is formed by neural fold, then neural grove, the neural tube
Term
neurulation
Definition
early formation of the nervous system
Term
notochord
Definition
-serves as support in the embyro
- form the spinal cord eventually
Term
oocyte
Definition
early form of egg cell
Term
organizer
Definition
- usually the dorsal lip
-direct the developement of nearby regions
Term
organogenesis
Definition
formation of organs
Term
placenta
Definition
organ that nutures the fetus and eliminates its waste
Term
radial
Definition
close? as oppose to distal
Term
regulative developement
Definition
fate cells can differentiate into many things
-undefined
Term
somite
Definition
region of the germ body
-segmented blocks of cells along the notochord of mesoderm
-produce cells that become the vertebrae,ribs, limbs
- releases mesenchyme, which forms the three germ layers
Term
spermatocyte
Definition
-diploid
-early sperm cell
Term
trophoblast
Definition
cells that become the placenta at the 32-cell stage of mammalian developement
Term
vegetal hemisphere
Definition
bottome hemispher of embyro
